WARNING! DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THIS WOODSTOVE WITHOUT READING AND UNDERSTANDING THESE OPERAT-ING INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY. FAILURE TO OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE PROPERLY MAY CAUSE A HOUSE FIRE.

LISTINGS & SAFETY CAUTIONSThese installation instructions describe the installation and operation of the QUADRA-FIRE 2100 Millennium woodstove. This stove meets the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s 1990 particulate emission standards. The 2100 Millenium is listed by OMNI-Test Laboratories, Inc. to UL Safety Standard 1482, and ULC S627, and (UM) 84-HUD. The 2100 Millennium is approved for mobile home installations when not installed in a sleeping room and when an outside combustion air inlet is provided. The structural integrity of the mobile home floor, ceiling, and walls must be maintained. The stove must be properly grounded to the frame of the mobile home and use only listed double-wall connector pipe. Outside Air Kit, part 831-1780 must be installed in a mobile home installation.

Check with your local building code agency before you begin your installation to ensure compliance with local codes, including the need for permits and follow-up inspections. Be sure local building codes do not supersede UL specifications and always obtain a building permit so that insurance protection benefits cannot be unexpectedly cancelled. If any assistance is required during installation, please contact your local dealer.

Inspect and clean vent system frequently in accordance with the instructions contained in this manual. Do not connect this unit to a chimney serving another appliance.

When using optional Blower, part 831-1701, route power cord away from unit. Do not route cord under or in front of appliance.

Do not elevate fire. Build wood fire directly on firebrick.

Do not overfire - if heater or chimney connector glows, you are overfiring. Stove thermometer recommended.

Operate only with the door closed. Open only to add fuel to the fire. Operating with the door open can cause hot embers or sparks to fall out and a fire may result.

INSTALLATION MATERIALS NEEDED FOR SAFETY

CHIMNEY CONNECTOR (also known as flue pipe or stove pipe): The chimney connector joins the stove to the chimney (see page 9). It must be 6” (152mm) minimum diameter 24 MSG black or blued steel, or an approved air-insulated double wall venting pipe.

THIMBLE: A manufactured or site-constructed device installed in combustible walls through which the chimney connector passes to the chimney (see pages 10-11). It is intended to keep the walls from igniting.

CHIMNEY SYSTEMS:

A. APPROVED MASONRY (see specifications on page 9) with at least 5/8” (16mm) fire clay lining joined with refractory cement or other listed system suitable for use with wood stoves.

B. PREFABRICATED 6" (152mm) listed high temperature (UL 103 HT or ULC S629M) chimney. Components required by manufacturers for installation such as the chimney support base, firestop (as appropriate), attic insulation shield, insulated tee, etc., are necessary to assure a safe chimney installation. Use only components manufactured for the chimney. Chimney installation should meet NFPA 211 standards.

FIRE SAFETY: To provide reasonable fire safety, the following should be given serious consideration:1. Install at least one smoke detector on each floor of your home

to ensure your safety. They should be located away from the heating appliance and close to the sleeping areas. Follow the smoke detector manufacturer’s placement and installation instructions, and be sure to maintain regularly.

2. A conveniently located Class A fire extinguisher to contend with small fires resulting from burning embers.

3. A practiced evacuation plan, consisting of at least two escape routes.

4. A plan to deal with a chimney fire as follows:

In the event of a chimney fire:

A. Notify fire departmentB. Prepare occupants for immediate evacuation.C. Close all openings into the stove.D. While awaiting fire department, watch for ignition of

adjacent combustibles from overheated stove pipe, hot embers or sparks from the chimney.

VENTING SYSTEMThe venting system consists of a chimney connector and a chimney. These get extremely hot during use. Temperatures inside the chimney may exceed 2000°F (1100°C) in the event of a creosote fire. To protect against the possibility of a house fire, the chimney connector and chimney must be properly installed and maintained. An approved thimble must be used when a connection is made through a combustible wall to a chimney. A chimney support package must be used when a connection is made through the ceiling to a prefabricated chimney. These accessories are absolutely necessary to provide safe clearances to combustible wall and ceiling material. Follow venting manufacturer’s clearances when installing venting system.

This stove may be connected to a lined masonry chimney or a listed high temperature prefabricated approved metal chimney. Do not connect it to a chimney serving another appliance. To do so will affect the safe operation of both appliances.

WARNING! THIS APPLIANCE IS HOT WHILE IN OPERATION AND MAY REMAIN SO UP TO 40 MINUTES AFTER THERE IS NO FUEL IN THE FIREBOX. IF THIS APPLIANCE IS IN A HIGH TRAFFIC AREA OR CHILDREN MAY BE NEAR IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU PURCHASE A DECORATIVE BARRIOR TO GO IN FRONT OF THE APPLIANCE. ALWAYS KEEP CHILDREN AWAY WHILE IT IS OPERATING AND DO NOT LET ANYONE OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE UNLESS THEY ARE FAMILIAR WITH THESE OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING! NEVER DRAW OUTSIDE COMBUSTION AIR FROM A WALL, FLOOR OR CEILING CAVITY OR FROM ANY ENCLOSED SPACE SUCH AS AN ATTIC OR GARAGE.

WHEN LOCATING YOUR STOVE consider safety, convenience, traffic flow, and the fact that the stove will need a chimney and chimney connector. It is a good idea to plan your installation on paper, using exact measurements for clearances and floor protection, before actually beginning the installation. If you’re not using an existing chimney, place the stove where there will be a clear passage for a factory-built listed chimney through the ceiling and roof.

AVOID FIRE: Maintain the designated clearances to combustibles. Insulation must not touch the chimney. You must maintain the designated air space clearance around the chimney. This space around a chimney is necessary to allow natural heat removal from the area. Insulation in this space will cause a heat buildup, which may ignite wood framing. NOTE: Clearances may only be reduced by means approved by the regulatory authority having jurisdiction.

WE RECOMMEND that a qualified building inspector and your insurance company representative review your plans before and after installation.

VENT SPECIFICATIONS

Single Wall: Six inch (6”) (152mm) diameter, minimum 24 MSG black or blued steel connector pipe, with a listed factory-built chimney type UL103 HT* suitable for use with solid fuels, or a masonry chimney, and the referenced clearances.

FLOOR PROTECTION: Floor protector must be noncombustible material, extending beneath heater and to the front/sides/rear as indicated. The floor must be non-combustible or otherwise adequately protected from radiant heat given off by the unit and from sparks and falling embers. A layer of thin brick or ceramic tile over a combustible floor is not sufficient. In US installations, it is necessary to install a floor protector of 3/8" thick metal clad millboard or equivalent at least 16" (406mm) in front of glass door and 8" (203mm) to both sides of the fuel loading door. Open the door and measure 8” (203mm) from the side edge of the opening in the face of the stove. See *exception below.In Canada, similar floor protection must be provided 18" (457mm) in front and 8" (203mm) from the sides and rear of the stove. See *exception below.*EXCEPTION: Non-combustile floor protection must extend beneath the flue pipe when installed with horizontal venting and extend 2” (51mm) beyond each side.

To be sure that your Quadra-Fire stove burns properly, the chimney draft (static pressure) should be approximately -.10” water column (W.C.) during a high burn and -.04” W.C. during a low burn, measured 6” (152mm) above the top of the stove after one hour of operation at each burn setting.

NOTE: These are guidelines only, and may vary somewhat for individual installations.

Your Quadra-Fire stove was designed for and tested on a 6” (152mm) chimney, 12’-14’ (360-420cm) high, (includes stove height) measured from the base of the stove. The further your stack height or diameter varies from this configuration, the possibility of performance problems exists. In addition, exterior conditions such as roof line, surrounding trees, prevailing winds and nearby hills can influence stove performance. Your local dealer is the expert in your geographic area and can usually make suggestions or discover solutions that will easily correct your flue problem, allowing your woodstove and its flue system to operate correctly and provide safe and economical heat for your home.

A masonry chimney or a listed factory-built UL103 HT Class “A” chimney must be the required height above the roof and any other nearby obstructions. The chimney must be at least 3’ (91cm) higher than the highest point where it passes through the roof and at least 2’ (61cm) higher than the highest part of the roof or structure that is within 10’ (305cm) of the chimney, measured horizontally. See 2-10-3 Rule below.

These are safety requirements and are not meant to assure proper flue draft.

We recommend using a minimum total system height of 12' (360cm), measured from the flue collar to the top of the chimney (not including chimney cap).

2-10-3 RULE

WARNING!

ALWAYS FOLLOW CHIMNEY CONNECTOR MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPER INSTALLATION.

CHIMNEY CONNECTOR IS TO BE USED ONLY WITHIN THE ROOM, BETWEEN THE STOVE AND CEILING OR WALL. THE CONNECTOR SHALL NOT PASS THROUGH AN ATTIC OR ROOF SPACE, CLOSET OR SIMILAR CONCEALED SPACE, OR A FLOOR, OR CEILING. MAINTAIN MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES AS REFERENCED ON PAGES 9, 10, 11 & 12.

CHIMNEY HEIGHT/DRAFT

Availability of combustion air: A source of air (oxygen) is necessary in order for combustion to take place. It is important to realize that whatever combustion air is consumed by the fire must be replaced. If you are using room air, the air is replaced via air leakage that occurs around windows and under doors, etc. However, in most newly constructed houses, mobile homes, or even existing homes that are fitted with tightly sealed doors and windows, the area from which the combustion air is taken is relatively air tight. In these cases, an outside air source must be made available to feed combustion air from outside the home into the stove. An Outside Air Kit is available for your stove as an option, Part 831-1780. The kit is a requirement for mobile home installations. Check with the local authorities in your area for the requirements in your location.

Page 9 250-6931C November 3, 2004


There are two separate and different parts to a flue system: the chimney connector and the chimney itself.A. Single wall connector or stove pipe. This must be at least

24 gauge mild steel or 26 gauge blue steel. The sections must be attached to the stove and to each other with the crimped (male) end pointing toward the stove. See Chimney Connector Diagram below. All joints, including the connection at the stove collar, should be secured with three sheet metal screws. Make sure to follow the minimum clearances to combustibles as set out on page 6 of this manual. Where passage through the wall, or partition of combustible construction is desired, the installation shall conform to CAN/CSA-B365 (Canada).

B. Factory-built listed chimney connector (vented). A listed connector (vented) must be used when installing this unit in a mobile home. The listed connectors must conform to each other to ensure a proper fit and seal.

WARNING!! IF INSTALLING THIS MODEL TO A MASONRY CHIMNEY, ALWAYS BE SURE THE CHIMNEY IS IN GOOD CONDITION AND THAT IT MEETS THE MINIMUM STANDARDS OF THE NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION (NFPA) STANDARD 211. A FACTORY BUILT CHIMNEY MUST BE 6” (152mm) UL103 HT.

THIS APPLIANCE IS MADE WITH A 6 INCH (152mm) DIAMETER CHIMNEY CONNECTOR AS THE FLUE COLLAR ON THE UNIT. CHANGING THE DIAMETER OF THE CHIMNEY CAN AFFECT DRAFT AND CAUSE POOR PERFORMANCE. IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO USE OFFSETS OR ELBOWS AT ALTITUDES ABOVE 4000 FEET ABOVE SEA LEVEL OR WHEN THERE ARE OTHER FACTORS THAT AFFECT FLUE DRAFT.

The flue should be checked to determine that it is not too large for the stove. NFPA 211 allows the cross-sectional area of the flue to be no more than 3 times the cross-sectional area of the flue collar of the stove (28 x 3 = 84 square inches). It is recommended that a chimney with a larger diameter than 6” (152mm) be relined, since the oversized flue can cause poor performance and contribute to the accumulation of creosote. (See page 8 for more information about troubleshooting draft problems). CAUTION! DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.

When connecting the stove through a combustible wall to a masonry chimney, special methods are needed. There are several ways to make this connection, including the construction of a masonry thimble. In Canada, the installation shall conform to CAN/CSA-B365. Check with your local building authorities and/or consult the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 211). Refer to Figure 11B on page 11 and Figures 12A &12B on page 12

MASONRY CHIMNEY

FIGURE 9B

Ensure that a masonry chimney meets the minimum standards of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 211. It must have at least a 5/8" (16mm) fire clay liner or a listed chimney liner system. See Figure 9B. Make sure there are no cracks, loose mortar or other signs of deterioration and blockage. It is best to have the chimney inspected by a professional, and be sure to have the chimney cleaned before the stove is installed and operated.

MASONRY CHIMNEY (Cont’d)

For optimal performance, masonry chimneys used to vent this appliance should be lined with a 6" (152mm) stainless steel liner. Installations into a clay flue without a stainless steel liner may reduce draw which affects performance, cause the glass to darken and produce excessive creosote.

FIGURE 10B

SOLID PACK CHIMNEY WITH METAL SUPPORTS AS A THIMBLE

For the method of installation to a masonry chimney shown in Figures 12A & 12B on page 12, it will be necessary to purchase a 12” (305mm) long 8" (203mm) inside diameter, section of prefabricated listed solid pack chimney to use as a thimble. Purchase a wall spacer, trim collar, and a wall band manufactured to fit the chimney section you purchase.

The safety features of this system are twofold: 1) A 2" (51 mm) air space between the chimney section and combustible wall; and, 2) The 1" (25mm) air space around the chimney connector as it passes through the chimney section to the chimney.

The location of the opening through the wall to the chimney must leave a minimum 18" (457mm) vertical clearance between the connector pipe and the ceiling (or minimum recommended from pipe manufacturer) to prevent the ceiling from catching fire.

Measure for the center-line as shown in Figure 10A below. Cut an opening in the wall large enough to accommodate the outside dimension of the chimney section plus the minimum air space specified by its manufacturer. It may be necessary to cut the wall studs and install a header and a sill frame to maintain the wall support. The hole in the chimney must have at least an 8" (203mm) diameter fire clay liner or equivalent, secured with refractory mortar. If it is necessary to cut a hole in the chimney liner, use extreme care to keep it from shattering.

First, make the frame for the thimble, ensuring it is no smaller than 14" (368mm) square, to maintain a 2" (51mm) air space around the chimney section.

Attach the wall spacer to the chimney side of the frame. Then insert the frame into the opening, toe nailing it to the wall studs. Install the wall band in the framing to secure the chimney section in place.

Insert a single section of chimney connector into the chimney through the wall band, being sure it does not protrude into the chimney beyond the edge of the chimney flue lining.

Apply high temperature furnace cement to the end of the chimney section and install it over the connector, through the wall spacer. Tighten the wall band to hold the chimney section firmly in place and against the chimney.

Install the trim collar on the outside of the opening. Check to make sure there is a 1" (25mm) air space between the connector and the chimney section.

During installation be certain that a 2" (51mm) air space to the wood framing is maintained. Do not fill this space with insulation. Insulation in this air space will cause a heat buildup which may ignite the wood framing.

CONNECTION TO A METAL PRE-FABRICATED CHIMNEYWhen a metal prefabricated chimney is used, the manufacturer’s installation instructions must be followed precisely. You must also purchase (from the same manufacturer) and install the ceiling support package or wall pass-through and “T” section package, firestops (where needed), insulation shield, roof flashing, chimney cap, etc. Maintain the proper clearance to the structure as recommended by the manufacturer. This clearance is usually a minimum of 2” (51mm), although it may vary by manufacturer or for certain components.

There are basically two methods of metal chimney installation. One method is to install the chimney inside the residence through the ceiling and the roof (Figure 12A). Install an attic insulation shield to maintain the specified clearance to insulation. Insulation in this air space will cause a heat buildup which may ignite the ceiling joists.The other method is to install an exterior chimney that runs up the outside of the residence (Figure 12B). This method of installation requires at a minimum a wall pass-through device, a wall support package, insulated “T” section and roof flashing. The components illustrated may not look exactly like the system you purchase, but they demonstrate the basic components you will need for a proper and safe installation.

BURNING PROCESS

In recent years there has been an increasing concern about air quality. Much of the blame for poor air quality has been placed on the burning of wood for home heating. In order to improve the situation, we at Quadra-Fire have developed cleaner-burning wood stoves that surpass the requirements for emissions established by our governing agencies. These wood stoves, like any other appliances, must be properly operated in order to insure that they perform the way they are designed to perform. Improper operation can turn most any wood stove into a smoldering environmental hazard.

KINDLING or 1st STAGEIt helps to know a little about the actual process of burning in order to understand what goes on inside a stove. The first stage of burning is called the kindling stage. In this stage, the wood is heated to a temperature high enough to evaporate the moisture which is present in all wood. The wood will reach the boiling point of water (212°F) and will not get any hotter until the water is evaporated. This process takes heat from the coals and tends to cool the stove.

Fire requires three things to burn: fuel, air and heat. So, if heat is robbed from the stove during the drying stage, the new load of wood has reduced the chances for a good clean burn. For this reason, it is always best to burn dry, seasoned firewood. When the wood isn’t dry, you must open the air controls and burn the stove at a high burn setting for a longer time to start it burning. The heat generated from the fire should be warming your home and establishing the flue draft, not evaporating the moisutre out of wet, unserasoned wood, resulting in wasted heat.

The air control in the center of the pedestal is called the Start -Up Air Control; it is used during the kindling stage of burning. It must be closed (pulled out) after the first 5 to 15 minutes.

2nd STAGEThe next stage of burning, the secondary stage, is the period when the wood gives off flammable gases which burn above the fuel with bright flames. During this stage of burning it is very important that the flames be maintained and not allowed to go out. This will ensure the cleanest possible fire. If you are adjusting your stove for a low burn rate, you should close down the air to the point where you can still maintain some flame. If the flames tend to go out, the stove is set too low for your burning conditions. The air control, immediately beneath the ashcatcher, is the one used to adjust the stove for burn rates. This is called the Primary Control. See Figure 15A.

START-UP AIR CONTROL

PRIMARY AIR CONTROL

FINAL STAGEThe final stage of burning is the charcoal stage. This occurs when the flammable gases have been mostly burned and only charcoal remains. This is a naturally clean portion of the burn. The coals burn with hot blue flames.

It is very important to reload your stove while enough lively hot coals remain in order to provide the amount of heat needed to dry and rekindle the next load of wood. It is best to open the air controls for a short while before reloading. This livens up the coalbed. Open door slowly so that ash or smoke does not exit stove through opening. You should also break up any large chunks and distribute the coals so that the new wood is laid on hot coals.

Air quality is important to all of us, and if we choose to use wood to heat our homes we should do so responsibly. To do this we need to learn to burn our stoves in the cleanest way possible. Doing this will allow us to continue using our wood stoves for many years to come.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSIMPORTANT - PLEASE READ BEFORE USING STOVE

START-UP AIR SYSTEMThe combustion air enters at the rear of the firebox through the rear air tubes. This air supply is controlled by the Start-up Air Control.

PRIMARY AIR SYSTEMThe primary air enters at the upper front of the firebox, near the top of the glass door. This preheated air supplies the necessary fresh oxygen to mix with the unburned gases, helping to create secondary, tertiary and quaternary combustions. This air is regulated by the Primary Control. For more primary air push control in, for less air pull control out.

FIGURE 15A

There are many ways to build a fire. The basic principle is to light easily-ignitable tinder or paper, which ignites the fast burning kindling, which in turn ignites the slow-burning firewood. Here is one method that works well:1. Place several wads of crushed paper on the firebox floor. Heating the flue with slightly crumpled newspaper before

adding kindling keeps smoke to a minimum.2. Lay small dry sticks of kindling on top of the paper.3. Open Start-Up Air Control and Primary Air Control fully.4. Make sure that no matches or other combustibles are in the immediate area of the stove. Be sure the room is adequately

ventilated and the flue unobstructed.5. Light the paper in the stove. NEVER light or rekindle stove with kerosene, gasoline, or charcoal lighter fluid; the

results can be fatal.6. Once the kindling is burning quickly, add several full-length logs 3” (76mm) or 4” (102mm) in diameter. Be careful not

to smother the fire. Stack the pieces of wood carefully: near enough to keep each other hot, but far enough away from each other to allow adequate air flow between them.

7. When ready to reload the stove, add more logs. Large logs burn slowly, holding a fire longer. Small logs burn fast and hot, giving quick heat.

8. Adjust the Start-Up Air Control and Primary Control; the more you close down the Primary Control, the lower and slower the fire will burn. The more you open the Primary Control, the more heat will be produced. The Start-Up Air Control is only used for the first 5 to 15 minutes.

As long as there are hot coals, repeating steps 7 and 8 will maintain a continuous fire throughout the season.

NOTE: The special high temperature paint that your stove is finished with will cure as your stove heats. You will notice an odor and perhaps see some vapor rise from the stove surface; this is normal. We recommend that you open a window until the odor dissipates and paint is cured.

NOTE: Stove should be run full open for 15 minutes a day to keep air passages clean.

WARNING! ALWAYS OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE WITH THE DOOR CLOSED AND LATCHED EXCEPT DURING START-UP AND RE-FUELING .

WARNING! DO NOT LEAVE THE FIRE UNATTENDED WHEN THE DOOR IS UNLATCHED. UNSTABLE FIREWOOD COULD FALL OUT OF THE FIREBOX CREATING A FIRE HAZARD TO YOUR HOME.

CAUTION: Before lighting your first fire in the stove: 1) make certain that the baffle is correctly positioned. It should be resting against the rear support; 2) Follow instructions on page 18 for cleaning plated surfaces, and; 3) Remove all labels from glass.front.

BUILDING A FIRE

CAUTION: Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or “freshen up” a fire in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it is in use.

For maximum operating efficiency with the lowest emissions, follow these operating procedures:1. Regardless of desired heat output, when loading stove, burn your Quadra-Fire with both air controls wide

open for 5 to 15 minutes.2. Regulate burn rate (heat output) by using the Primary Control (immediately under ashcatcher). The Start-Up

Air Control (in the center of the pedestal) is mainly for initial start-up and reloading.3. Heat output settings: Following 5 to 15 minutes of burning with controls wide open (see #1 above):4. Burn dry, well-seasoned wood.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (Cont’d)IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ BEFORE USING STOVE

WARNING: Do not operate with Start-Up Air Control in the open positionin excess of 15 minutes! Risk of extreme temperatures! Pro-longed operation of this stove with the Start-Up Air Control in the open position may cause the combustible materials around the stove to exceed safe temperature limits.*NOTE: These are approximate settings, and will vary with type of wood or chimney draft. Due

to altitude and other environmental circumstances, this operation information is a guideline only. Similar burn rates may be obtained using other settings unique to your situation.

OPACITYThis is the measure of how cleanly your stove is burning. Opacity is measured in percent; 100% opacity is when an object is totally obscured by the smoke column from a chimney, and 0% opacity means that no smoke column can be seen. As you become familiar with your stove, you should periodically check the opacity. This will allow you to know how to burn your stove as nearly smoke-free as possible (goal of 0% opacity).

BURN RATESSTARTING FIRE: Open (push in) both controls fully. After a wood load has been burning for 5 to 15 minutes (longer for very large pieces) close the Start-Up Air Control by pulling it out (in the center of the pedestal).

HIGH: Leave the Primary Air Control fully open (immediately under the ashcatcher). It is important to do this when reloading the stove. Failure to do this could result in excessive emissions (opacity).

After a wood load has been burning for 5 to 15 minutes on High to achieve the following burn rates set the controls as listed below:MEDIUM HIGH: Close the Primary Air Control to 1-1/4” to 2” (32-51mm) open, Start-Up Air is closed.

MEDIUM LOW: Close the Primary Control to 1” -1-1/4” (25-32mm) open. Start-Up Air is closed.

LOW: Gradually close down the Primary Control, making sure to maintain flames in the stove. (Start-Up Air is closed.) It is very important to maintain flames in your stove during the first few hours of a low burn, to avoid excessive air pollution.

BLOWER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS(see blower installation instructions on page 19)

If your Quadra-Fire wood stove is equipped with an optional blower, you should follow these guidelines:

1. Initial (cold) start-up: Leave blower off until your stove is hot and a good coalbed is established. The blower may be turned on approximately 15 minutes after loading the stove with fuel.

2. High burn setting: The blower may be left on throughout the burn.

3. Medium or Medium-High burn setting: The blower should be left off until a good burn is established, then turned on at a medium or high rate.

4. Low burn setting: The blower tends to cool off the stove. If you are using wet wood or a very low burn setting, leave blower off until the burn is well established. Then, if you wish, turn the blower on at a lower rate. Too high a blower setting with a low burn rate may adversely affect emissions.

5. The blower is equipped with a speed control. The highest blower speed is obtained by turning the speed control to ON” and then adjusting counterclockwise towards “OFF” as far as possible without turning the blower off. For a low blower speed, turn the control knob clockwise as far as possible.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (Cont’d)

CAUTION: DO NOT STORE WOOD CLOSER THAN THE REQUIRED CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLE OF THE STOVE OR WITHIN THE SPACE REQUIRED FOR LOADING AND ASH REMOVAL.

WOOD SELECTION AND STORAGE

Burn only dry seasoned wood. Store wood under cover, out of the rain and snow. Dry and well-seasoned wood will not only minimize the chance of creosote formation, but will give you the most efficient fire. Even dry wood contains at least 15% moisture by weight, and should be burned hot enough to keep the chimney hot for as long as it takes to dry the wood out - about one hour. It is a waste of energy to burn unseasoned wood of any kind.

Dead wood lying on the forest floor should be considered wet, and requires full seasoning time. Standing dead wood can be considered to be about two-thirds seasoned. To tell if wood is dry enough to burn, check the ends of the logs. If there are cracks radiating in all directions from the center, it is dry. If your wood sizzles in the fire, even though the surface is dry, it may not be fully cured.

Splitting wood before it is stored reduces drying time. Wood should be stacked so that both ends of each piece are exposed to air, since more drying occurs through the cut ends than the sides. This is true even with wood that has been split. Store wood under cover, such as in a shed, or covered with a tarp, plastic, tar paper, sheets of scrap plywood, etc., as uncovered wood can absorb water from rain or snow, delaying the seasoning process.

MAINTENANCE and GLASS CARE

DISPOSAL OF ASHESAshes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.

CREOSOTEFORMATION AND NEED FOR REMOVAL: When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a newly-started or a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this creosote creates an extremely hot fire which may damage the chimney or even destroy the house. The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected once every two months during the heating season to determine if a creosote or soot buildup has occurred. If creosote or soot has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.

INSPECTION: Inspect the system at the stove connection and at the chimney top. Cooler surfaces tend to build creosote deposits quicker, so it is important to check the chimney from the top as well as from the bottom.REMOVAL: The creosote or soot should be removed with a brush specifically designed for the type of chimney in use. A chimney sweep can perform this service. It is also recommended that before each heating season the entire system be professionally inspected, cleaned and repaired if necessary.

GLASS CARENOTE: REMOVE ALL LABELS FROM GLASS BEFORE LIGHTING THE FIRST FIRE IN YOUR STOVE.

Quadra-Fire stoves are equipped with ceramic super heat-resistant glass, which can only be broken by impact or misuse. Do not slam stove door or impact the glass. When closing door, make sure that logs do not protrude against the glass. Clean glass with a nonabrasive glass cleaner, such as Windex. Abrasive cleaners may scratch and cause glass to crack. Inspect glass regularly. If you find a crack or break, immediately put the fire out and return the door to your dealer for replacement of glass before further use.

A portion of the combustion air entering the firebox is deflected down over the inside of the door glass. This air flow “washes” the glass, helping to keep smoke from adhering to its surface. When operated at a low burn rate, less air will be flowing over the glass and the smokey, relatively cool condition of a low fire will cause the glass to become coated. Operating the stove with the Primary Air Control all the way open for 15-20 minutes should remove the built up coating. If the deposits on the glass are not very heavy, normal glass cleaners work well. Heavier deposits may be removed by using a damp cloth dipped in wood ashes or by using a commercially available oven cleaner. After using an oven cleaner, it is advisable to remove any residue with a glass cleaner or soap and water. Oven cleaner left on during the next firing can permanently stain the glass and damage the finish on plated metal surfaces.

CARE AND CLEANING OF PLATED SURFACESClean plated surfaces with vinegar or a glass cleaner before lighting your first fire.

CHIMNEY CLEANINGRemove all ash from the firebox and extinguish all hot embers before disposal. Allow the stove to cool completely. Disconnect flue pipe or remove baffle from stove before cleaning chimney. Otherwise residue can pile up on top of the baffle and the stove will not work properly. Close the door tightly and proceed with sweeping the chimney. Clean out fallen ashes from the firebox.

FIREBRICKThe firebox of your Quadra-Fire stove is lined with high quality firebrick, which has exceptional insulating properties. There is no need to use a grate; simply build a fire on the firebox floor of your stove. Do not operate stove without firebrick.

OVERFIRINGDo not overfire. Using flammable liquids or too much wood, burning trash in the stove, or allowing too much air into the stove may result in overfiring. If the chimney connector or stove glows red or even worse, white, the stove is overfired. This condition may ignite creosote in the chimney, which can be dangerous, possibly causing a house fire. If you overfire, immediately close the air controls and door, if open, to reduce the air supply to the fire. Overfiring will void the stove warranty.

WARNING: When the appliance is equipped with a plated door, you must clean all the fingerprints and oils from the surface before firing the appliance for the first time. Use a glass cleaner or vinegar and towel to remove the oils. If not cleaned properly before lighting your first fire, the oils can cause permanent markings on the plating. After the plating is cured, the oils will not affect the finish and little maintenance is required: just wipe clean as needed.

CAUTION: Do not use polishes with abrasives as it will scratch the surface.

DOOR HANDLE ASSEMBLY

1. Remove all ash from the firebox, and extinguish all hot embers before disposal into a metal container.2. With a 3/16” allen wrench, remove the 2 front secondary combustion tube retainer bolts on the secondary air channel under

the end of the front tubes. See Figure 20A. NOTE: Soak the bolts with penetrating oil for at least 15 minutes before trying to remove them.

3. To remove the secondary combustion tubes, slide the tube to one side until one end is out of its hole. Then, while lifting that end of the fiber board, pull the tube up over the secondary air channel and out of the hole at the other end.

4. Slide fiber board forward to front of stove, tilt down and slide through the door. See Figure 20B.5. To install the fiber board baffle, repeat steps 2 through 4 in reverse. Be sure that the fiber board baffle is pushed back fully.

NOTE: The baffle in the 2100 Millennium is 2700° Fiber Board. Removing hardware exposed to combustion processes can be frustrating. If your reason for removing the baffle is simply to clean the chimney, you have alternatives which will save time and effort. Call a qualified chimney sweep or an authorized Quadra-Fire dealer for details.
